Competitive location in networks with threshold-sensitive customer behaviour
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the (r|Xp)−medianoid problem in networks. Goods are assumed to be essential and the only decision criterion is the travel distance. The portion of demand captured by the competitors is modelled by a general capture function which includes the binary, partially binary and proportional customer choice rules as specific cases. We prove that, under certain conditions of the capture function, a finite dominating set ∗Partially financed by Gobierno de España and FEDER grant ECO2008-05589 †Corresponding author

Solving the competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of competitor with a hybrid algorithm including Tabu Search and exact method
In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملExact algorithms for solving a bi-level location–allocation problem considering customer preferences
The issue discussed in this paper is a bi-level problem in which two rivals compete in attracting customers and maximizing their profits which means that competitors competing for market share must compete in the centers that are going to be located in the near future. In this paper, a nonlinear model presented in the literature considering customer preferences is linearized. Customer behavior ...
متن کاملOptimal Location and Parameter Settings of UPFC Device in Transmission System based on Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm
In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...
متن کاملDetermine the location of Gully erosion occurred based on the Geomorphology threshold and factors affecting it (case study: Cham-e- Zhab of Darrehshahr , Ilam)
Gully erosion is the most important water erosion which causes land degradation and imbalance in lands. Land degradation, broken ecological balance of landscapes and sensitive condition of biological resources are among reasons of gully erosion study. This study performed with the goal of determining the topographical threshold of gully erosion and expansion and also predicting sensitive areas ...
متن کاملDynamic Competitive Supply Chain Network Design with Price Dependent Demand and Huff Utility Function
This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...
